“There is not much that I want to say other than that was unfortunate and not good,” Jones said. But it wouldn’t be the right emphasis one way or the other to get into any communications or dialogue since that happened.”

Asked if he’s spoken to Elliott, Jones again deferred.

“That wouldn’t be the right emphasis to imply,” Jones said. “I wouldn’t want to say on communication. I don’t want to over or underemphasize what I’m doing, if anything, relative to that incident. I don’t want to overemphasize that. But I’m aware of the incident and I’m aware of the criticism.”

Jones also said the NFL’s open investigation regarding domestic violence allegations involving Elliott and a former girlfriend are a non factor.

“I’m aware of nothing that concerns me about that investigation,” Jones said.

The District Attorney in Columbus, Ohio declined to pursue charges and has closed the case.

The Dallas Cowboys owner says there is no deadline on whether the team will trade or release the quarterback, but he says Romo is on board with the situation. "I know we are good."
